Katy, i get very strong ovulation pain, it is usually left or right sided and kind of feels like a stitch, it then spreads to a dull ache (almost pm achy) the next day.
I usually get them cd15, this month (first time) i got a slight bit of spotting and then yesterday (cd 21) had lower right side pain. (Really hoping it may of been implantation pain but no more symptoms)

BananaToast · 11/08/2014 22:27

Just checking in, FF says I'm 8DPO although temps were a bit all over the place so I'm not sure exactly what day I ovulated. Don't think this is my month as we only dtd once around ov and may have missed it if the dates were slightly off. Since coming off the pill my cycles have been irregular as well so I'm not sure when AF is due - the longest so far has been 34 days (others 31 and 30 days), and I'm on day 31 today. All round very frustrating as I don't have a clue where I'm at and trying not to get my hopes up. The last couple of cycles I have had a day or two of spotting before AF arrived and none so far. Planning to test at the end of the week if no AF. It would just be too lucky to get a BFP first month trying wouldn't it?

ChandlersFarang · 12/08/2014 02:23

Greetings from Thailand, ladies!! So AF turned up at my beach hut last night - to be fair I did invite her this time. So closes cycle 4, 57 days in total!! Good riddance!! Altho woop to my 15 day LP!! High fives to medical science!! Ha ha. And I can finally come off the stats for this bus.

All hail cycle 5, which I think should at last resemble a normal length. New BFP due date will be approx 8 Sept but I'll straddle the two for now, to cheer on all your August BFPs!

Love all the MN-becoming-real-life stories, so sweet!! I can't wait!! I'll be a Londoner again next year so am sure some of u will be nearby Grin X x x

Shetland · 12/08/2014 05:11

Sorry chandler - but good news on the lp.

spinningirl10 · 12/08/2014 06:46

Morning ladies

Chandler sorry af got you but good news on the lp. Think I'll be joining you on the sep bus soon.
Bfn for me this morning and I've woken up with stomach and lower back pain which usually signifies the imminent arrival of af. So it looks like I'm out. Evap lines are shitSad

Off topic but what very sad news about Robin Williams this morning. Such a talented man.

KittyVonCatsington · 12/08/2014 06:52

Whaaaat?! Is Robin Williams dead?! Nooooooooo! Funniest man ever !

Chandlers and spinning Really quite upset you both didn't get your BFPs. You both so deserve them and it sucks big time Sad

Will lurk through the windows of the Sept bus to see how you are both getting on like some crazy stalker

spinningirl10 · 12/08/2014 07:02

Thanks Kitty, it does suck but just want af to arrive now so that I can get on with next cycle.

Yes Robin Williams found dead in his home, suicideSad

Sunshinesaz86 · 12/08/2014 07:28

Sorry to u both spinning and chandlers! But glad u will hopefully start having some regularity chandlers! FX for u both for September!

I'm still lurking waiting for some more BFP's!

And it's so sad about Robin williams. :(

ChandlersFarang · 12/08/2014 07:52

Thank you all, you lovely ladies!! Argh, sorry spinning - rubbish news, evap lines ARE shit!!! I've got high hopes for us for next month.... A gang of June babies would be amazing wouldn't they! GrinGrin

I couldn't believe that about Robin Williams either. His poor wife!! Sad times Hmm x x

Siarie · 12/08/2014 07:55

I'm going to go out on a wimp right now because If I'm wrong it's going to be embarrassing, but I think I implanted yesterday. Small little cramps, lightening zapping strike followed by the cramps. Woke up this morning and feel slightly sick but very hungry. I'm actually cooking my lunch right now because I'm so hungry (it's not even 8am!).

Oh and my temp dipped yesterday and is back up today, so FX. This is going to make it much harder to delay testing! I calculate that I need to wait at least 3/4 days based on all the FF charts I've researched after their dip.

Siarie · 12/08/2014 07:59

:( Robin Williams, DH told me in bed this morning I was really sad. Spinning I have a good feeling about your next cycle hun x

Katybear123 · 12/08/2014 08:00

Hi jazzy snap sounds similar though mine has been going on for 5 days now not sure what that is about cd 17 here and we dtd last night yippee. So that's 16,13,12 and 9. Will aim for 18, 20 and maybe 22.
Chandlers and spinning so sad ur out pls hang around u will b missed xx

KittyVonCatsington · 12/08/2014 08:14

Sounds like you are on a roll katy!

It's amazing how in tune with our bodies we can get saire certainly sounds like implantation and the dip is v encouraging!

spinning limbo really is the worst. I've even tried jumping up and down before to bring on AF Hmm

Summer would be a lovely time to have babies-we'd get out more and not freeze our arses off pushing the pram!

Katybear123 · 12/08/2014 08:19

Ah thanks kitty do I think it's enough,? It should b shouldn't it?
You right re knowing our bodies but then I think am I making it up in my head .... Summer baby would b top Grin

MrsGingerbread · 12/08/2014 08:20

Siarie sounds promising. Fingers crossed for you! You don't ever have to worry about embarrassing yourself with us!

Chandlers Sorry that you are out, but what a lp. Fingers crossed that September bus is the one for you.

Spinning Sorry that you have had such a touch time. Evap lines are evil. :(

Banana You never know, it only takes one swimmer!

Katy I get a little pea sized lump at the top of my thigh/groin when I ovulate. I think it is to do with the lymph nodes, but is cool because it shows you which side ovulated. :)

CockB Sorry about the opk - have you tried temping? I've found that so helpful.

Very sad about poor Robin Williams - how terrible for his family. :(

Siarie · 12/08/2014 08:23

Haha my previous post was mean to say whim not wimp, just noticed.

Kitty it is, there is always that notion of maybe being wrong or just your mind playing tricks though which is annoying. But I think sometimes if you really aren't symptom spotting and you get something strange thats a good sign. I even had wine last night because I thought I wouldn't be anywhere near that yet.

So I vote that we get someone to invent a portal X-ray type machine which you can look inside to follow the eggs progress, think of the money you'd make!

spinningirl10 · 12/08/2014 08:31

Siarie, fx for you and I hope your good feeling for me is right Grin

Wow would we really be into June due dates on the next bus?!

Haha Kitty, love the jumping to bring on afGrin although I have to say that high impact exercise often brings it on for me. Must get back to it, I've slacked off hoping I might get a bfp.

angelaham · 12/08/2014 08:43

I have been on holiday so haven"t been on here much, cant believe all of the BFP thats been going on !!!,

congratulations to all of you with BFP and good luck to everyone else still waiting!!!

My ovia app says that from Sunday just passed i am in my fertile week, so fingers crossed, felt some sharp pain on left side of body and spotted some EWCM on sunday and yesterday, , dtd sunday , DH was too tired last night to try again, so not sure wether trying today will help, fx

Katybear123 · 12/08/2014 08:52

Siarie I an so with the egg machine and I hope ur right in symptoms. Angel fingers crossed for u I an praying we have dtd enough this month but who knows it's bloody exhausting and still need to keep going as my cycles are funky still since off the pill! Never had do much dtd!Grin

sazzlehopes · 12/08/2014 09:04

Oh Spinning I'm sorry it was a bfn for you this morning.
I have everything crossed for you for next month, I'll keep checking in on you x

angelaham · 12/08/2014 09:15

Katy, i was tired last night as well, but think its a missed opportunity but just need to wait and see,

The egg machine would be a great invention,

Blueskygirl30 · 12/08/2014 09:21

I read that Robin Williams died this morning and sobbed, and then I saw a screenshot of Aladdin hugging Genie and it said 'Genie, youre free' and I sobbed even more. Im not normally one to cry over people I've never met but he brought so much happiness to the world.

In other news...
Chandlers sorry AF has arrived but yay to the 15day lp and fx for a better cycle next month and a BFP at the end of it!

Spinning you're not out yet! I'm still really hoping for a BFP for you. You're not out until the bitch arrives!

I'm 2dpo here but still getting twinges in my left side, which is where I'm sure I ovulated from. Also, I'm pretty sure I ovulated on Sunday and yesterday I had a teeny dot of blood when I wiped...could this be from the egg bursting through? I've not had it before.

WigglyBraddins · 12/08/2014 09:22

Spinning sorry about your rubbish news. It will happen tho, keep going.

Siarie FXd lots & lots for you.

I just went to Waitrose to buy an expensive test kit, not the cheapy one I used yesterday. The lady at the check out said "oooh, hoping for some good news? I hope you get it." Now I know she meant well, which is why I smiled & nodded instead of telling her it's none of her business, but surely there's something in partner training that says "don't comment on customer shopping". My DB worked in a supermarket & had one lady come through with 6 bottles of cooking sherry & some After Eights & a man come through with scouring pads, cat food and condoms. He resisted the temptation to comment on those. If I get BFN when I test again I may be back for cooking sherry & After Eights.

gennibugs · 12/08/2014 09:42

Morning all

sorry you are out chandlers but I'm glad you have something to take away onto the sept bus.

spinning hope you get an answer soon, though hope it's the right one.

Wow Summer baby would be fab. Though when we started this journey I thought an autumn baby would be fab, then a Christmas, then spring and now summer mwahaha. I would really really love a summer baby though. FX for us all!

spinningirl10 · 12/08/2014 09:54

Ah bugger, the witch has arrived early Sad oh well onto the sep bus. Thanks for all the support ladies, you're all fabGrin I shall still be here cheering you on.
